"The pantheon of great dim sum spots in the San Gabriel Valley is always growing, but a place like Sea Harbour has staying power. In the spacious dining room at this Cantonese spot in Rosemead, you order by ticking off what you want from a menu (no rolling carts here). You’ll find excellent renditions of dim sum staples like har gow and crispy turnip cakes as well as upscale twists that are worth the expense, like truffled siu mai and squid ink salty egg buns. But be warned: despite this place running like a well-oiled machine, waits on the weekends are often measured in hours. That said, nothing beats the scene at Sea Harbour, thanks to a ladies-who-lunch crowd clutching Prada bags and whispering about the latest neighborhood gossip.
